Built with a revolutionary low profile chassis, the Mustang EP 38 inflatable ocean racing vest is engineered for the elite ocean racer. Membrane Inflatable Technology^TM inside reduces weight and increases flexibility, and the Hydrostatic Inflator Technology (HIT^TM) will only inflate when submerged and not in rain, spray, or high humidity.

The low profile chassis is designed for maximum range of motion during high output grinding and sail changes. This PFD integrates seamlessly with the EP 6.5 Ocean Racing outerwear collection for a head-to-toe sailing solution providing performance edge in the harshest of conditions.

The World Sailing ISAF Offshore Special Regulations (OSR's) require a PFD that complies with ISO 12402-3, or an equivalent standard; and the EP 38 Inflatable is built to the UL1180 Standard as a Type II inflatable PFD, and which World Sailing has deemed as equivalent standard. For further equivalency the Mustang EP 38 is fitted with accessories which are required by the ISO12402-3 Standard, but not by the UL1180 Standard. These additional features include:

• Spray hood that meets ISO12402-8 requirements
• Safety harness that meets ISO12401 requirements
• Marine grade whistle
• More than 300 cm2 of marine grade retro reflective tape
• Fitted with crotch straps
• Storage room for PLB or light, etc
